Seismic Attribute. 3-Hr. PR: GEOL 341 and GEOL 311 and MATH 155. The effective seismic attribute technologies and attribute interpretation workflows, their application to the characterization of subsurface structures, facies, and reservoir properties, with particular reference to hydrocarbon exploration and CO2 sequestration. (Effective Term: Fall, 2013) (CIP 400601) Rationale: Geology is invisible in the subsurface and seismic signal attribute technology is critical to the investigation of the subsurface geology. Many energy companies rely on 3D seismic attributes to explore and produce hydrocarbons in the subsurface, and this course will help students better evaluate hydrocarbon potential with reduced economic risk using attributes. Psychology PSYC 650. Behavioral Neuroscience Method. 3-Hr. An overview of the most common research methods and techniques used in the behavioral neuroscience field. (Effective Term: Spring, 2014) (CIP 420101) Rationale: This course is designed to provide a conceptual and practical understanding of several of the most common techniques in behavioral neuroscience. The interactive lectures will serve to illustrate the ways in which various experimental approaches have been used to advance specific areas of behavioral neuroscience. Behavioral Neuroscience Method will be a required course for doctoral students in Behavioral Neuroscience, Department of Psychology. Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design New Courses: Landscape Architecture LARC 651. Community Planning and Design. 5-Hr. (2-Hr Lec; two 3-Hr. studios) PR: LARC 650. Design studies focused on community planning, community development, and community growth. Integration with a Community Design Team or other outreach project. (Effective Term: Fall, 2013) (CIP 040601)

Annex I Page 2 of 6

Rationale: This course is a studio design course for students enrolled in the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) Program at WVU. The course will build on the strength of the Community Design Team as a significant outreach mechanism. The course engages students in a significant component of contemporary landscape architectural practice: participatory community based design and planning. LARC 670. Research Methods in Design. 2-Hr. A survey of the philosophies and methodologies of science and research as they apply to the field of landscape architecture. Development of research methods for terminal project. (Effective Term: Fall, 2013) (CIP 040601) Rationale: This is a research methods course for students enrolled in the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) Program at WVU. The course will expose students to historic and contemporary methods of research specific to landscape architecture. Students in the course will work towards developing their proposal for the completion of masters project and report or thesis. College of Business and Economics New Courses: Management HTOR 474. Hospitality Revenue Management. 3-Hr. PR: HTOR 376. This course explores the important role of revenue management in the hospitality industry. It also instructs future hospitality managers how to effectively manage their inventories and prices through revenue management principles and theories. (Effective Term: Spring, 2014) (CIP 520701) Rationale: The course will teach effective revenue and yield management skills in the hospitality industry. To be an effective manager, students will learn to use these skills to make decisions that improve operational effectiveness and profitability. Finance FIN 742. Investments Seminar. 3-Hr. PR: ECON 736. A comprehensive examination of the theoretical and empirical literature covering the foundational topics in investments. Topics include portfolio theory, performance evaluation, derivatives, market anomalies, investor behavior and other pertinent developments in the investment area. (Effective Term: Fall, 2014) (CIP 040601) Rationale: The investments area is a very important area in finance and it provides a wide range of researchable topics. The Investments Seminar builds on the theoretical foundations developed in previous investment-related courses such as Portfolio Theory and Asset Pricing and is designed to acquaint Ph.D. students with the seminal research, current issues and research methodology in the area of investments. Since the Ph.D. program is oriented towards research,

Annex I Page 3 of 6

the emphasis is on current issues and developments in empirical methods. Students are required to read and understand journal articles and provide detailed critique and synopsis. The critical reading, writing and research skills that students develop in this course will be invaluable as they develop their dissertation. As part of their course grade, students are required to develop an original research paper with the goal of publication in a recognized academic journal. Having a working paper that could be presented at an academic conference or submitted for publication before the student completes the Ph.D. program will make the student more marketable when they enter the job market.

A clinical course that provides students with both instruction and practice in written and oral advocacy in appellate matters with emphasis on those before the United States Supreme Court. (Effective Term: Fall, 2013) (CIP 220101) Rationale: The majority of law schools offer specialized courses that go beyond the basic tenets of law. This course makes a significant contribution to the law school curriculum because clinical education is a great enhancement to training for a law career. It offers an opportunity for students to go beyond the classroom, learning practical lawyering skills with “live-client” experience and application of law under the supervision of faculty members. This course also fulfills the university’s service obligation. LAW 678. US Supreme Court Clinic 2. 4-Hr. PR: LAW 677. A continuation of US Supreme Court Clinic I with additional emphasis on working with the Government in Supreme Court matters and amicus curiae (Friend of the court) briefs. (Effective Term: Spring, 2014) (CIP 220101) Rationale: As a continuation of LAW 677, a second semester provides refinement of skills and continuity of client representation and aids the student in learning management of long-term projects.

School of Nursing Course Change: From: NSG 763. Capstone 1. 3-Hr. PR or Conc: N762. Leadership skills to create change relative to the practice problem as designed in N762: Clinical Project 2. NSG 764. Capstone 2. 3-Hr. PR or Conc: N763. Evaluate the change implemented in Capstone 1 and analyze the relationship of the findings to practice and policy. To: N763. DNP Capstone. 1-6 Hr. PR: DNP Clinical Project Course. Project implementation using leadership skills to create and evaluate change relative to a practice problem. Analyze relationship of project to practice and policy. On-line course. (Effective Term: Fall, 2013) (CIP 511601) Rationale: Revised DNP Curriculum requires continuous enrollment in capstone course, as opposed to previous curriculum which designated 2 courses as Capstone 1 and Capstone 2. Previous curriculum plan for 2 distinct capstone courses led to problems with students not finishing the first course in time to register for second course in a capstone series, and an increase in the use of incomplete grades. Creating one variable credit capstone course will allow students to maintain continuous enrollment during the planning, implementation and evaluation of their project across multiple semesters, much the same way as is currently in place for dissertation credits in research doctoral programs at WVU.

Annex II, Page 1 of 10

TO: College of Creative Arts Curriculum Committee FROM: Joshua Williamson Director, School of Theatre & Dance DATE: 12/3/2012 Updated 2/26/2013 RE: New Dance Major Plan INTRODUCTION: Following a unanimous vote on November 12, 2012, the faculty of the School of Theatre & Dance is requesting approval of a new major within the School of Theatre & Dance: Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Dance. With a vibrant Dance Minor program, the School of Theatre & Dance believes this is an opportune time to begin the BA in Dance. As the only college-level dance program in the state of West Virginia, the proposed BA in Dance will offer West Virginia residents the opportunity to stay within the state to study Dance, offering these students the advantages of in-state tuition. This is particularly important for Promise Scholars who must otherwise forfeit the scholarship to study dance outside of the state. Additionally, the BA in Dance will allow the School to garner majors from the thriving Dance Minor program. The BA in Dance will also enrich current College of Creative Arts programs in theatre and music through cross-disciplinary co-curricular performance opportunities. RATIONALE: The student demand for dance is strong and there are limited opportunities for students to study dance in the region. Point Park University, The Ohio State University, and University of Maryland are the only other regional schools offering a bachelor’s in dance. Currently, the School of Theatre & Dance’s minor in Dance serves approximately 70 students as minors. An additional 20-30 non-major/non-minor WVU undergraduate students participate in dance activities and dance classes. Surveys of these students indicate strong interest in a dance major. Additionally, the School of Theatre & Dance DANC course offerings for AY 2012 served 1,222 students through GEC and studio classes with a FTE of 214.9 students. The proposed major has been designed in alignment with national standards in accordance with the National Association of School of Dance (NASD)* and the School plans on seeking this accreditation by 2018 in adherence with NASD policies. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS:

Entrance Requirements

* NASD is an association of approximately 77 schools of dance, primarily at the collegiate level, but also including postsecondary non-degree-granting schools of dance.

A letter of support from Matthew Wilson, Interim Division Director of Animal and Nutritional Sciences in included in the appendix.

D. World Languages The fundamental vocabulary used by dancers was born out of ballet, therefore students will be required to complete at least two courses in French in partial fulfillment of the language requirement. Students may elect to continue to study French or complete six credit hours of a second language for a total of 12 credit hours of foreign/world languages.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon competition of the BA in Dance, students will be able to:

• Identify and work conceptually with the elements of dance in a variety of dance genres • Understand the choreographic processes, aesthetic properties of style, and the ways

these shape and are shaped by artistic and cultural ideas and contexts • Appreciate a wide selection of dance repertory, the principal eras, genres, and cultural

sources • Develop and defend critical evaluations • Demonstrate a fundamental knowledge of the body and of kinesiology as applicable to

work in dance • Show an understanding of procedures for realizing a variety of dance styles • Perform basic through advanced dance techniques within the student’s area of interest • Exhibit knowledge and/or skills in one or more areas of dance beyond basic

coursework and performance appropriate to the individual’s needs and interests, and consistent with the goals and objectives of the specific liberal arts degree program being followed

The BA in Dance will further the mission of the College and University by: • Developing a dance major (BA) has been included in the College’s 2020 Strategic Plan

(goal 1: Engage undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in a challenging academic environment)

• Providing additional cultural offerings and promoting health and wellness for the citizens of West Virginia (goal 5: Enhance the well-being and the quality of life of the people of West Virginia)

ASSESSMENT: Routine assessment in dance is vital and includes daily in-class critiques, rehearsals, end-of-semester auditions, and public performances. These assessments monitor the development of each student’s technique, artistic growth, and application of dance to the other liberal arts. Examples of assessment to monitor student progress in dance:

• Audition for entry into the program • End-of-semester audition (jury) for program continuation • Auditions for performance opportunities (DANC 200/300) • Daily in-class critiques

Assessment of the program and curriculum will happen in accordance with policies from the National Association of Schools of Dance that includes an initial application for accreditation and membership. Following an initial application and 5-year review period, NASD re-accredits programs every 10 years. Additionally, the program will be reviewed every five years for the Board of Governors. Furthermore, public performances and annual participation with professional organizations such as the American College Dance Festival (ACDFA), West Virginia Dance Festival, and National Dance Educators Organization will provide feedback on the quality of instruction and the level of rigor of the program. Feedback from peers with these organizations will be used to improve the program. For example, ACDFA hosts regional and national dance festivals and competitions. Monitoring the students’ progress and participation relative to other participating institutions will provide the dance faculty with immediate assessment of the students’ skill level and assist them in identify areas to improve. Additionally, the School will conduct program and course assessment and convene the faculty to discuss program outcomes and the need for continuous improvement. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
